Mystery Character

Have you ever had a dream about someone -- a friend or maybe a boyfriend -- a dream where you talk together, laugh together, maybe cry together, maybe even kiss -- and woken up to realize you don't know who that person is?
The aftermath is that in wracking your brains, trying to remember what about the person was so familiar, you feel robbed of a friendship, robbed of a relationship that has never existed unless somewhere in your subconscious... somewhere in your dreams or your memories or your future...

And like the golden acorn of the Ice Age, the memory slips away as you focus to keep it clear, and you're left with a kind of resentment of being robbed of yet another could-have-been...

Or maybe it's not highway robbery, the insensitivity of your own punishing brain. Maybe it's a promise. So maybe you should hold tight to mystery man, remember the good times of the past, and wait patiently and faithfully for the promise of this return.
